The parasite class is prepping for a future they helped create. How many others are seeing it?

Powerful people are privately gaming out AI disruption, war, cults, social breakdown, and survival, while the public is told to trust the system.

This club is not good, and I do not dismiss it.  I only point out that the rich are always getting together in exclusive groups, and have for a few centuries now.  I have a great great grandfather who had his own rail car in the 1880's and he was a 'Mason'.  He made a fortune by today's standards, gambled it away, retired to a retirement home run by the Mason's.  Escaped to make a new fortune and put my grandmother, his granddaughter through college, and he lived to be 107.  In my own life I have worked close enough to the rich to know they live in exclusive bubbles.  But despite all their exclusive clubs the rich can be beat at their own game as they are too lazy to really be smart.  All people have to do is organize.  Which sounds easy, but the rich are quite aware of this threat.

The WRONG people are "informing" us about COLLAPSE

You've probably noticed that collapse content is everywhere. But as I've been thinking about it, I realized that to navigate all this information, we first need to step back and become conscious of our dominant cultural myth. This myth is perfectly embodied by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals—the idea that all nations are on a linear path towards becoming "developed," and once they get there, they get to stay there.

But that's not how things are. The process of modernization was a temporary phase, and now it's stopping and reversing. So, if we want to accurately envision our future, we need to scrap the old linear trajectory that puts "developed" countries ahead. Instead, we should think of it as a rubber band that's been pulled out and is now snapping back to a more primitive state. In this cyclical view, the humans who are closer to the starting line are actually closer to the finish line—they are the ones who are "ahead" on the trajectory toward the future.

So, if people in developing countries, or those further along in collapse, are ahead of us, we should be paying attention to them. I decided to test this idea by reading some articles giving voice to people in these regions.

My first stop was an article from Burkina Faso, a personal account from a 36-year-old woman. She described an "infernal" summer of extreme heat and constant power cuts while she was pregnant. She ultimately had a miscarriage, lamenting, "Imagine I could have, too." What struck me was the disconnect: even while describing a hellish reality, she seemed to be envisioning a modern, stable existence for her child, blaming the doctors for not warning her. It seemed she was fixated on bringing a child into a world that was already so broken it couldn't even support a pregnancy. This wasn't the perceptive insight I was hoping for.

Next, I looked at another article from the Philippines, where people were dealing with devastating floods. Their pleas were heartbreaking: they hoped the government would stop corruption and that their children could play in the streets again. I had bad news for them. The floods are going to happen again, and their children won't have much fun. It felt like many people are just wired to act out a script—make babies and hope someone else fixes the problem—without updating their understanding of reality.

What did I learn from this? First, many people are just operating on autopilot, unable to see the predicament for what it is. And second, I realized the media plays a role in this. These articles felt like they were hitting a floor below which the narrative couldn't go. They gave us crumbs of reality but were cherry-picking to avoid showing the full, devastating picture. The truly hopeless voices were being filtered out.

Then, I got a comment from a subscriber in Mali. She told me that the future I describe in my videos is their present: "Wars, no water, no electricity. Only in the capital do we have six hours of electricity per day... Yet women keep having five, six children. We have no future. Everyone can see that." When asked if she'll have kids, she replied, "No, because I won't bring a soul into this hell. People here despise me for it. A woman with no children is their worst nightmare."

I cried reading that. She is living so much closer to the future, and it was humbling and refreshing to hear from someone who is actually observing the same "autopilot" behavior I was talking about. This destroys the misconception we have in the developed world that things will get so bad that everyone will wake up and change. Things can get extremely grim, and people will still just be robots.

So, who should we trust as a legitimate expert? We need to ask: who is speaking, and who isn't? The experts we usually hear on podcasts have credentials and high status from "developed" countries. But just because someone is from the global south doesn't mean they have insight if they are still high-status within their collapsing country. They are still living farther from the future than others.

Take people like Samantha Sweetwater or Rob Hopkins, who I see on podcasts. They are high-status people speaking to high-status people, promoting concepts like the "Institute of Imagination." It's laughable. If my subscriber from Mali sat down with them, she'd be rolling her eyes. Their "solutions," like collapsing oil companies, show they simply don't understand the complexity of the predicament because they haven't lived it.

In conclusion, the humans with the most insight into our future are the ones living at the bottom of the hierarchy in regions where development is already being undone. They are the ones who can appreciate the complexity because they're living through the reality of a future without fossil fuels. Don't trust the polished experts from "behind" on the trajectory. Listen to the people who are ahead, living the future we're all heading toward. You can always tune into the others for a good laugh, but don't take them seriously.

The above I auto generated from the transcript using AI.  I found it useful as the video played.  It helped me hear her message.  But without watching the video it is not so useful, for as good as it is, nuance is lost.  The benefit is that it helps you to see the bigger message that the collapse wave is coming at us but that we are not all on the same side of the wave.  Some people are ahead of the wave of collapse and some are behind it.  This maters because the stories we tell, and the stories we listen to, are different depending on where on the wave we ride.  But now ride we do, he haw!

Basically the trajectory of all Civilization Collapses, where the surviving population reverts to more primitive means of ekeing out a living.  Which is the almost certain outcome for 99.99% of the population.

The question in this iteration is how successful the .01% will be with their ongoing plans and preparations to maintain a technologically advanced subculture in private compounds and bunkers in remote locations, powered by micro-nukes, windfarms, hydro and solar arrays.  Walled Cities surrounded by organic farms populated with serfs and robots, protected by private armies of Mercs operating Drones to mow down surviving hordes of hungry Zombies.  This is a possible outcome prior generations of Elites didn't have the ability to set up.

It won't last forever, but it doesn't have to.  Most of the global population will die off fairly quickly when the supply chains fail, water stops being pumped through city pipes and sewage plants fail.  All they need to do is be able to last maybe a decade in well protected enclaves, and the Zombies will all be fertilizing the earth.

Will they be able to control the situation as it spins down?  Because they conflict with each other and war is a major part of collapse dynamics, probably not.  But that is definitely the end game they are prepping for.

Even in the short term their math does not work.  The .01% should familiarize themselves with the history of Haiti.  The people around them are only as loyal as their paycheck, and when there is nothing left to buy, a paycheck won't go far.  And there is only so much in the larder.

The Tragic Tale of the 1804 Haiti Massacre that Targeted Former Slave Owners and Their Families

To understand the 1804 Haiti Massacre, one must delve into the background of the Haitian Revolution. Haiti, then known as Saint-Domingue, was a French colony in the Caribbean, flourishing economically due to the labor-intensive sugar and coffee plantations that relied on enslaved Africans. Conditions were brutal for the enslaved population, who endured harsh treatment, backbreaking labor, and dehumanizing living conditions.

As long as they can feed and house their serfs and provide them a greater degree of safety and security than they would have not living under them in the compound, they can maintain it for a while.  Eventually of course if they don't run their city-state well, they'll be overthrown as leader.   I doubt Elon would last long leading his survival clan of supermodels, tech bros and mercs for instance.  lol.

Exactly, none of our billionaire class has it in them to be a charismatic or competent leader.  They should pick me as guru while there is still time.

[RE]

Sadly, anyone who would be a good Guru doesn't have the necessary funds, and anyone with the moolah would make a lousy Guru.  They are mutually exclusive sets, there's no intersection.

Well, once this site had all sorts of folks stopping in, discussing most anything, it was great entertainment. RE's early sites had even more followers. That might have been guru level leader status I suppose. But guru's being in charge of collecting followers....first his went....elsewhere....some then came here...and then they went.....I would say guru skills are having opposite consequences of what gurus do. Followers aren't supposed to be dropping like flies right? Everytime I get banned for whatever the reason djour guru ranking for whomever drops like 33%.

The reason I had a following was because I Blogged.  I no longer do that, so the people who liked reading my take on history, economics, anthropology, politics, energy, futurism and my autobiographical material have drifted away.  I no longer have sufficient energy to sit at the keyboard to write at the length I used to.  I also no longer can keyboard anywhere near my old speed.  I'm down to one hand hunt and peck typing.   My old blogs would usually range from 5-10K words and I could crank them out in a day.  Today, one of those blogs would take a month.

I wish I still could blog.  There are some ideas and topics I either never thought had relevance to collapse or are so controversial I didn't think it wise to publish while still alive so I didn't write about them.   I have no desire to be martyred for having wildly unpopular opinions and end up in prison. lol.  At this point though, prison would not be that much different than my current accommodations, though I don't think they let prisoners have unrestricted access to the internet, which thank god I still have.

Anyhow, now all we do is chronicle the newz stories which are relevant to the topics I used to write on at great length.  It's not enough to develop or retain a following.  I'd like to do video again, but I've been waiting for Kdog to set up a better platform than what I used to do with Skype and YouTube.  Hopefully he'll eventually get around to that.  I can still talk well enough unscripted to do an entertaining show.  Maybe I can still be a Guru. lol. 😀
